During World War II imports into Britain dropped by a half due to the threat and actual attacks by German U-boats. In an effort to alleviate the shortages the British Government encouraged the people to dig for victory, and with that call in mind, lawns and flowerbeds were turned over to the planting and growing of vegetables. Chicken sheds and runs were built in back gardens and some even formed clubs and kept pigs that were fed on kitchen waste.
To make the most beneficial use and fair distribution of such limited resources the Government introduced the Rationing in the form of a Ration Book that was available to every household that registered. In addition the Ministry of Food produced loads of instruction leaflets containing healthy a nutritious recipes to make the most of the war time rations.
You will find one of those recipes below (it may seem a bit unusual but it is very cheap and easy to make, and it tastes nice too) Why not try it for yourself.
